"It's open right now currently to those people who are volunteering to clean it up, and to the cleaning agencies getting in there and fixing things up," said temple spokesperson Amardeep Singh Kaleka.

The temple will be open for prayer around 1 p.m. Friday after a public visitation and ceremony at Oak Creek High School.

The visitation will take place in the high school gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. WISN.com live stream from the high school. United States Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to speak, and a public prayer service will be held.

"You'll be guided through and you'll understand exactly how to do things by signs so you can understand our culture a little bit better," Kaleka said of Friday's public service. "Everyone who is interested and wants to meditate with us and listen to the music and get some of the teachings but also visit the bodies and visit the families and show your support please."

Kaleka said that private family ceremonies will take place after the Friday morning visitation. It is customary in Sikh tradition for the deceased to be cremated.

"The private ceremonies will happen with each family," Kaleka said. "There will be three funerals held on Friday and then three held on Saturday."

Gurmel Singh, the temple's head priest, narrowly escaped the shooting last Sunday at the temple. He will be one of the officials presiding over the services.

"We will pray for the other people as we normally do," Singh said through a translator. "Those six people are martyrs and we will remember them."
